#203 Re: Guns N' Roses » Question to fans of 01-02 lineup... » 569 weeks ago
supa, you're right he wasn't "dressed for success". I'm one of those people that doesn't really care what any of them are wearing but in a general sense it certainly matters. Main reason a lot prefer the 2006 period is the "presentation". He looked like he was back to kick ass and chew gum.
Oh, don't get me wrong, i don't care what he's wearing, it's just one of those details that adds to the 'rushed/ i don't really wanna do this' feeling that i got from the whole thing. Like that kid that plays at home and suddenly he's sent to do his chores and says 'Do I really have to!?' 
And in 02 his singing was Mickey Mouse all the time. I mean a few weeks with a vocal coach wouldn't hurt if you're getting ready for your worldwide comeback to the top of the rock world.
In 2006 the look was there, the clothes, the vocals. He was joking about 'downloading motherfuckers'. Putting it all together it looks much better planned with the exception of the 3rd guitarist mess/saga. And even that would've been a good time to drop the album. He was headlining every festival around the world. But again the wheels fell off who knows why.
It's like the boy who cries wolf, at some point people just didn't care anymore

Supa, you say he was struggling at Rio but I think that is the best show in new GNR's history. It's the only show post 91 I have watched multiple times. You're right he is not at his peak there obviously but the band is on fire.
Yeah, it was a good show but i still remember the volumes of his mic and the other instruments being all over the place. Him being very angry with the sound guy and messing about with his in-ear monitor. And he was dressed like somebody took him away from his computer in his comfy home clothes and put him on stage
These things make me think it was all rushed and unprepared on his part. The band was on top of it mostly but i think he wasn't up to par.
2001-2002 Wow! I can't believe it's been that long ago!

He wasn't ready. Everyone around him was but he was late, as always.
In Rio on '01 he was struggling, and couldn't even get his soundcheck done right. And he was wearing training pants for god's sake. That doesn't look like a professional getting ready to play for 100k+ people for his big comeback in the spotlight.
Again, at the VMA's in '02. I remember staying up all night because i've read about the rumours on the net and at 6AM Fallon drops the 'patience' pun and wears a GNR shirt and everything went wild. He still had the audience with him then. But still he was out of shape and couldn't sing. Mickey Mouse voice all over. Hockey jerseys.
It would've been awesome to get that line-up to tour behind the album right them. Bucket and Finck looked awesome there. Yeah they shocked people but they looked awesome. And they could write good songs.
But, to cut it short: VMA's, drop album, tour, drop 2nd album in 04-05 and tour. Make believe
